1947 Map of Careaga Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Active Oil Fields and extensive petroleum infrastructure define the central landscape of these uplands during the late 1940s. Centered on the Solomon Hills, the area shows a transition from the industrial activity near Palmer and Roadamite to the agricultural reaches of the Los Alamos Valley. Educational sites like the Blochman School and Olive School provided for the local workforce and ranching families, while the presence of a Dismantled Railroad near Sisquoc indicates the shifting transportation needs of the era. North of the Sisquoc River, the map records early mining operations such as the Crushed Rock and Gravel Mine. From the heights of Tinaquaic down to the drainage of San Antonio Creek, the map details a terrain carved by Careaga Canyon and Solomon Canyon, reflecting the complex geography of Santa Barbara County's interior.
